bered that the unusual daring of the five
men was fully shown at the time. The
men were all masked. This is now eN-
planned by the suspicion that they were
employees of the road, who specially guard
ed against being recognized by other train
men. Fireman William Carley at that
time tried to apprehend the men. lie
was shot in the thigh, and was confined TO
his bed until month ago. He then re-
tured 10 his engine and he is at work to-
day. He is one of the men who remained
faithful to his employers.
Carley will likely be one Of the wit
nesses called upon. 1t is hardly likely
that he will be able TO identify any OF the
men, as the five men who broke into his
train had their features completely con-
cealed.
1t was wondered at the time why these
five masked men broke into cars loaded
with firearms. 1t is now surmlsed that
they wanted 10 secure the arms Tor their
protection in the carrying on OF roblerles
that had been planned for the future.
When the details of the robbery had
been published in these columns, the rail-
road officials renewed their efforts to ap-
prehend the gang that was at work. An
official of the road stated to the writer
short time afterwards that good clues Ol
the men had been obtained. At his re-
quest, however, nothing further was pub
lished about the matter at the time.
The pay car was closely watched at the
Union Station this morning. as 1t was sus-
pected that the other men for whom war
rants were issued would call for their
checks. At noon it was reported that an
other man, Clyde Laughlin, had been ar
rested when he went to draw his pay

notorious characters, are among those ar
rested KirkwoOd, who was the first ar
rested by Officer Murphy, fought like q
wild man. He jumped on the officers foot
and tried to get his murderous weapons
from under his blue overalls. Murphy
knew his desperate man and was as des-
perate with him from the beginning as was
absolutely necessary. In a second he had
him handcuffed.
The officers had two apparently innocent
sources of information 10 watch, for fear of
being baffied in their complete work. One,
and by no means a small danger, was to
keep the Callers" men employed by the
railroad company to call these freight
crews These callers have all the street
addresses of the men, and keys to their
rooms, and had they known of one arrest,
word would have quickly gone all around
the circle. The whole crowd would then
have attempted as complete disappear
ance as expert thieves only know how to
make. But in this they were completely
baked.
ANOTHER DANGER
was in trusting dispatches along the line.
No matter how innOcently or not it might be
done by the operators, the startling arrest
of whole crew would have put all the
caboose cars from here to Columbus in or
der, and the worst men would have been
missing when stopped by the 'red" Ian
tern at Second avenue. This was avoided
aud the work COmplely done.
Two favorite places for the robbery of
cars were the Panhandle tunnel and Graf
ton and Sheridan stations, out near the
CHARTERS tunnel.
Officer DIETRICH snatched his five men
with q rapidity which did not allow of
